3. Update or reinforce knowledge of current concepts, techniques, or practices
4. Promote innovation in clinical practice and research
5. Foster the integration of advances in relevant scientific and clinical research ensuring clinicians access to timely and relevant information
6. Enable clinicians to recognize, practice, discuss, and apply new concepts, technologies, or practices, as they relate to the management of infertility in their specific area of clinical practice or research
7. Further the identification and recognition of ethical, psychological, and cultural patient concerns
8. Provide a forum for clinicians, academicians, and other professionals in allied fields to create or renew collegial and collaborative relationships that enhance their effectiveness, promote high standards of clinical practice, patient safety, and improved patient outcomes
